Well, that depends on what mail program you're using. As you're writing to
this particular list, I presume you're using pine. Now, both your and the
sender's address ought to be in the header of your mail. It says: From:XY.
That's the senders address...

If, however, you're looking for the sender's real name and address, you
might want to give "finger" (finger [email-masked] in my case) or
www.whowhere.com or www.switchboard.com (suggested by David J. Gillett) a
try. These sites store personal information of people from all over the
world.

Cheers,
Robin
